PREFACE 

In  1836  "A  Vocabulary  of  Words  in  the  Hawaiian 
Language"  was  published  by  Lorrin  Andrews.  The  evident 
usefulness  of  this  list  of  about  6000  words  led  its  author 
to  prepare  "A  Dictionary  of  the  Hawaiian  Language" 
which  was  issued  in  1865. 

Andrews'  dictionary  had  long  been  out  of  print  and  in- 
creasing interest  in  Polynesian  linguistic  studies,  the  need 
of  an  authoritative  reference  book  for  the  spelling,  pro- 
nunciation, and  definition  of  Hawaiian  words,  led  to  ar- 
rangements for  the  preparation  of  a  new  Hawaiian  dic- 
tionary under  the  direction  of  the  Board  of  Commissioners 
of  Public  Archives.  A  legislative  act  of  1913  made  pro- 
vision for  "compiling,  printing,  binding,  and  publishing  in 
book  form  a  dictionary  of  the  Hawaiian  language"  in 
which  was  to  be  given  "the  correct  pronunciation  of  the 
ancient  and  modern  Hawaiian  words  and  phrases  and  their 
respective  equivalents  or  meanings  in  the  English  language." 

As  a  necessary  step  in  the  preparation  of  a  dictionary 
the  Board  of  Archives  transcribed  all  the  words  appearing 
in  Andrews'  Dictionary.  These  totaled  about  15,000  type- 
written cards. 

Following  this  preliminary  work  consideration  was 
given  to  the  selection  of  a  compiler  on  whom  might  be 
placed  the  responsibility  for  preparing  the  desired  manu- 
script. Rev.  Henry  Hodges  Parker  was  chosen  and  finan- 
cial arrangements  made  whereby  he  was  released  from 
other  obligations  for  the  five  years  following  the  date  of 
appointment,  January  1,  1915.  The  outstanding  features 
of  the  work  performed  by  Mr.  Parker  are :  the  incorpora- 
tion into  the  cards  prepared  by  the  Board  of  Archives  of  the 
extremely  valuable  revised  definitions  prepared  by  the  dis-

tinguished  Hawaiian  scholar,  Lorenzo  Lyons  (1807-1886) 
into  the  body  of  the  original  Andrews  Dictionary,  the  revision 
of  many  definitions,  the  time-consuming  task  of  supplying 
diacritical  marks,  the  comparison  of  word  lists  from  various 
sources  (see  pp.  vi  and  vii).  Particular  effort  was  made  to 
insure  correct  separation  into  syllables  of  the  words  defined, 
and  to  insure  correct  spelHng  of  Hawaiian  words,  phrases  and 
quotations. 

Early  in  1921  the  manuscript  cards  were  transmitted 
by  the  Board  of  Archives  to  the  Bishop  Museum,  which 
consented  to  do  the  editorial  work  necessary  to  prepare 
the  volume  for  the  press.  The  Museum  staff  verified  many 
scientific  terms,  compiled  a  list  of  Hawaiian  geographic 
terms,  and  with  the  assistance  of  J.  S.  Emerson,  Stephen 
Mahaulu,  and  other  Hawaiian  scholars,  added  a  few  words 
and  enlarged  and  clarified  many  definitions.  Galley  proof 
has  been  read  by  Mr.  Parker. 

The  Board  is  under  obligation  to  the  Bishop  Museum 
for  skilled  assistance  and  for  financial  aid  which  has  per- 
mitted the  publication  of  the  dictionary  without  further 
drafts  on  Territorial  funds.

INTRODUCTION 

INTRODUCTORY   REMARKS    BY    HENRY   HODGES    PARKER 

An  act  providing  for  the  compilation  and  publication  of  a  dictionary 
of  the  Hawaiian  language  passed  by  the  Legislature  in  1913  says:  "In 
such  dictionary  there  shall  be  given  the  correct  pronunciation  of  the 
ancient  and  modern  Hawaiian  words  and  phrases  and  their  respective 
equivalents  or  meanings  in  the  English  language." 

Taking  Judge  Lorrin  Andrews'  Dictionary  as  a  basis  for  the  new 
work,  the  compilation  of  such  existing  materials  as  are  found  in  it  is 
completed.  Andrews'  Hawaiian  Dictionary  is  the  only  work  of  its  kind 
In  the  Hawaiian  language;  it  registers  more  than  15,000  words.  A  re- 
vision or  review  of  this  work  is  accomplished.  Each  word  has  been 
rewritten  twice,  first  in  its  entirety  and  again  in  its  syllabic  parts. 

Most  scriptural  references  have  been  omitted  in  this  review  since 
alterations  made  in  the  text  of  later  editions  of  the  Hawaiian  Bible 
make  these  references  unserviceable.  A  list  of  words  taken  from  foreign 
languages,  and  the  English-Hawaiian  vocabulary  found  in  Andrews'  Dic- 
tionary are  also  omitted.  Hawaiianized  words  derived  from  foreign 
speech  have  their  place  in  the  main  body  of  the  work.  All  words  and 
definitions  registered  in  Andrews'  vocabulary  are  embodied  in  this 
new  dictionary  excepting  such  words  and  definitions  as  conflict  with 
accuracy. 

An  interleaved  volume  of  Andrew's  work  with  notes  and  criticisms 
by  the  late  Rev.  Lorenzo  Lyons  has  been  used  to  advantage.  A  few 
old  letters  written  by  Hawaiians  have  been  accessible  and  have  added 
to  the  list  of  words.  Ancient  Hawaiians  knew  their  mother  tongue  well. 
An  old  native  tells  a  story  about  Kamehameha  which  was  told  him  by 
his  father  and  that  story-telling  reveals  the  use  of  a  word  heretofore 
inexplicable  even  to  a  modern  native  scholar. 

A  mass  of  unclassified  material  ;has  been  used:  manuscript  from  the 
Catholic  Mission  in  Honolulu  dating  as  far  back  as  the  days  of  Bishop 
Maigret;  manuscript  from  the  Hawaiian  Board  of  Missions,  courtesy  of 
the  Rev.  W.  D.  Westervelt;  a  "Lexicon  of  the  Hawaiian  Tongue  taken 
from  the  Apograph  of  Hiram  Bingham,"  dated  July  4,  1832;  and  a  brief 
list  of  Hawaiian  words  with  their  definitions  in  the  handwriting  of  the 
late  Rev.  W.  P.  Alexander. 

A  valuable  contribution  to  this  work  is  made  by  Mr.  W.  F.  Wilson 
of  Honolulu  in  words  listed  by  himself.  Additions  have  been  made 
from  Dr.  William  T.  Brigham's  Ka  Hana  Kapa;  Dr.  N.  B.  Emerson's 
translation  of  Pele  and  Hiiaka;  and  Ellis'  Tour  Through  Hawaii.  From 
Mrs.  Irene  li  Holloway  has  come  literature  on  the  indigenous  plants 
of  Hawaii.  Through  the  kindly  office  of  Mr.  J.  S.  Emerson  a  copy  of 
William's  Maori  Dictionary  is  at  hand  which  reveals  a  remarkable  sim- 
ilarity in  the  structure  of  many  Hawaiian  and  Maori  words. 

Sincere  gratitude  is  due  and  here  expressed  to  those  who  have 
exhibited  a  friendly  concern  in  the  work;  to  Dr.  William  T.  Brigham  and 
Mr.  Thomas  G.  Thrum  of  the  Bishop  Museum  staff  for  various  helpful 
suggestions  and  criticisms;  to  Mr.  Robert  C.  Lydecker,  Librarian  of  the 
Public  Archives,  and  his  clerks  for  information  in  their  possession;    to

Perfection  is  not  claimed  for  this  work.  Few  are  able  to  appreciate 
the  amount  of  labor  or  the  length  of  time  required  to  complete  a  work 
of  this  sort. 

PREFACE  TO  THE  ORIGINAL  EDITION  BY  LORRIN  ANDREWS,  1865 

It  w^as  the  intention  of  the  author  of  this  volume  to  make  some 
extended  remarks  concerning  the  character,  peculiarities  and  extent  of 
the  Hawaiian  language,  by  way  of  preface  or  introduction;  the  want  of 
physical  strength,  and  especially  of  mental  energy,  has  induced  him  to 
forego  such  an  attempt  and  be  contented  with  a  mere  history  of  the 
manner  in  which  this  dictionary  has  come  into  existence.  The  history 
of  Hawaiian  lexicography  is  short.  For  the  first  effort  the  author  will 
quote  from  the  preface  of  "A  Vocabulary  of  Words  in  the  Hawaiian 
Language"  as  follows: 

"At  a  general  meeting  of  the  Mission  in  June,  1834,  it  was  voted, 
'That  Mr.  Andrews  prepare  a  Vocabulary  of  the  Hawaiian  Language.' 
At  the  same  time  a  wish  was  earnestly  expressed  and  often  repeated 
that  the  work  should  not  be  delayed,  but  should  be  printed  as  soon  as 
possible;  and  it  was  fully  understood  and  expected  that  the  work  would 
necessarily  be  an  imperfect  one. 

"On  receiving  the  above  appointment  from  the  Mission,  the  compiler 
set  about  a  review  of  his  materials  for  the  compilation  of  a  vocabulary. 
The  materials  at  hand  and  from  which  the  following  work  has  been 
compiled  were  the  following: 

"1.  A  vocabulary  of  words  collected  mostly,  it  is  believed,  by  Mr. 
Loomis,  formerly  a  member  of  this  Mission.  This  was  transcribed  by 
the  compiler  on  his  voyage  from  the  United  States,  and  put  to  use  in 

1828.  In  using  it,  his  object  was  to  insert  every  new  word  which  he 
saw  in  print  or  understood  in  conversation  or  could  obtain  in  any  other 
way,  besides  correcting  such  mistakes  as  had  been  made  in  transcribing 
from  the  copy  of  Mr.  Loomis.  It  was  also  a  point  with  him  to  insert, 
if  possible,  the  authority.  Owing,  however,  to  his  ignorance  of  the  lan- 
guage at  the  time,  many  mistakes  were  made  both  in  the  orthography 
of  the  words  and  in  his  definitions. 

"2.  A  vocabulary  of  words  arranged,  it  is  believed,  in  part  by  Mr. 
Ely,  at  the  request  of  the  Mission,  and  finished  by  Mr.  Bishop.  A  copy 
of  this  was  received  and  transcribed  by  the  compiler  in  the  summer  of 

1829.  Every  other  page  was  left  blank  for  the  insertion  of  new  words, 
and  for  any  such  other  corrections  or  additions  as  should  be  important. 
In  using  this  manuscript,  the  same  method  was  taken  as  with  the  vocab- 
ulary of  Mr.  Loomis.  New  words  and  new  definitions  of  words  before 
collected,  increased  the  size  of  the  book  to  a  considerable  extent. 

"On  the  slightest  review  of  these  irregular  masses  of  materials,  it  was 
manifest  that  the  labor  of  a  thorough  examination  of  every  word,  either 
by  consulting  intelligent  natives  or  by  examining  the  usus  loquemli  from 
such  manuscripts  as  could  be  obtained,  or  from  the  books  that  had  been 
printed,  must  necessarily  be  a  very  protracted  labor — the  labor  of  some 
years  at  least.  In  consideration,  therefore,  of  the  urgent  desire  that 
something  should  be  commenced  in  the  form  of  a  vocabulary,  and  that 
a  work  having  any  pretensions  to  perfection  must  be  slow  in  its  prog- 

vil 


INTRODUCTION 


ress,  and  protracted  in  its  completion — and  as  the  compiler  was  bur- 
dened with  labors  of  another  kind — he  judged  it  best  to  reduce  the  ma- 
terials he  had  on  hand  to  order  in  the  best  manner  his  time  would 
permit.  He  has  done  so,  without  looking  for  any  new  words  or  extend- 
ing the  definitions  of  such  as  were  collected,  or  consulting  any  native 
with  regard  to  the  propriety  or  impropriety  of  any  definition.  He  feels 
it  his  duty,  therefore,  to  forewarn  those  who  may  consult  the  following 
Vocabulary  that  they  will  often  be  disappointed.  It  is  by  no  means  a 
perfect  vocabulary  of  the  Hawaiian  language." 

Such  is  the  history  of  the  vocabulary.  The  printing  was  commenced 
at  Honolulu  in  1835,  but  finished  at  the  press  of  the  then  high  school 
at  Lahainaluna  and  published  early  in  1836.  It  consisted  of  132  pages 
octavo,  and  contained  a  little  over  6,000  words,  and  has  been  the  prin- 
cipal vocabulary  in  use  until  the  present  time. 

As  soon  as  the  aforementioned  vocabulary  was  published,  the  authoi 
had  several  copies  bound  with  blank  leaves  for  making  corrections  and 
inserting  new  words,  and  continued  his  reading  of  Hawaiian  documents 
both  printed  and  written — giving  the  preference  in  all  cases  to  such  as 
were  written  by  chiefs  to  other  chiefs,  and  such  as  were  written  by  one 
intelligent  Hawaiian  to  another.  As  many  of  these  written  documents 
were  never  printed  and  were  ephemeral  in  their  nature,  no  reference 
could  be  made  to  them  except  by  quoting  a  short  sentence  containing 
the  word  in  question.  No  works  of  foreigners  writing  Hawaiian  have 
been  referred  to  except  a  very  few  school  books,  such  as  the  Anahonua 
(Surveying);  the  Anatomia,  a  short  treatise  on  Anatomy  by  Dr.  Judd; 
Hoikehonua  (Geography),  and  a  few  others.  The  translation  of  the 
Bible,  however,  from  the  great  care  exercised  in  translating — the  fre- 
quent and  thorough  views  by  parties  distinct  from  the  original  trans- 
lators— and  in  all  cases  with  Hawaiians  sitting  by  and  assisting,  who 
were  distinguished  for  intelligence  and  skill  in  their  own  language — is 
the  principal  exception.  That  has  been  considered  and  treated  as  a 
classic,  and  numerous  references  have  been  made  to  it  accordingly.  It 
may  be  remarked,  however,  that  as  the  Hawaiian  Bible  has  been  under 
a  revision  for  two  or  three  years  past,  and  is  now  being  printed  in  the 
United  States,  some  of  the  references  in  the  Dictionary  may  not  apply 
to  this  new  edition  of  the  Bible.  With  these  exceptions,  the  authorities 
for  the  definitions  of  words,  so  far  as  the  author  is  concerned,  have 
been  drawn  from  manuscripts  written  by  Hawaiians  or  from  printed 
pages  originally  written  by  such.  The  author  has  ever  sought  after  the 
best  and  purest  Hawaiian  he  could  obtain,  as  he  has  had  no  use  for  the 
low  filthy,  vulgar  language  of  ignorant  and  sensual  depravity  that  must 
ever  exist  where  there  is  no  purifying  principle  to  counteract  it,  his  book 
may  appear  deficient  in  low  terms,  too  common  even  now.  A  good 
many,  it  is  to  be  feared,  have  crept  in  unawares  along  with  better  com- 
pany; but  they  have  never  been  sought  after. 

Besides  two  interleaved  volumes  filled  up  by  the  author  himself,  he 
has  been  permitted  to  draw  from  the  following  sources: 

1.  From  a  manuscript  of  Dr.  Baldwin  of  Lahaina.  This  manuscript 
was  especially  useful,  not  so  much  for  definitions  fully  written  out,  as 
for  its  suggestions  of  what  might  be  and  what  should  be  further  inves- 
tigated. In  noting  down  the  ideas  that  appeared  to  belong  to  the  word 
under  review,  he  appears  to  have  had  a  shrewd  Hawaiian  at  his  elbow.

INTRODUCTION 


Some  of  his  definitions  have  been  copied  in  full;  most  of  them  are  added 
to  those  of  the  author.  Hence  this  general  acknowledgment  is  all  that 
can  appear  in  the  work. 

2.  Mr.  Richards'  book.  This  was  a  printed  volume  of  the  Vocabulary 
bound  up  like  the  author's  with  blank  leaves.  In  his  missionary  work, 
and  especially  after  he  became  a  teacher  for  the  chiefs,  Mr.  Richards 
obtained  quite  a  stock  of  new  words;  but  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  his 
engagements  did  not  allow  him  time  to  define  them  well.  He  frequently 
obtained  a  new  word,  but  in&tead  of  giving  a  radical  definition,  merely 
mentioned  that  the  princess  or  Hoapili  or  some  other  chief  used  the 
word,  apparently  meaning  so  and  so,  leaving  it  to  the  author  to  find 
out  as  best  he  could  the  real  meaning  of  the  word.  It  was,  however,  of 
considerable  help  to  the  author. 

3.  The  volume  of  Rev.  A.  Bishop  has  also  rendered  assistance  to 
the  author.  Having  a  blank  interleaved  book,  he  corrected  or  improved 
many  definitions  of  the  printed  Vocabulary,  and  also  added  upwards 
of  200  new  words. 

4.  The  author  is  also  indebted  to  Dr.  Judd  in  the  same  way,  that  is, 
by  allowing  the  author  the  use  of  his  interleaved  Vocabulary.  Besides 
his  work  on  Anatomy  into  which  he  introduced  the  Hawaiian  names  of 
the  bones,  muscles,  and  ligaments  of  the  human  system,  he  has  collected 
in  his  Vocabulary  a  number  of  colloquial  words. 

5.  The  Vocabulary  of  S.  M.  Kamakau.  This  was  designed  to  be  a 
vocabulary  of  Hawaiian  words  with  Hawaiian  definitions.  This  work 
was  commenced  and  carried  on  by  Mr.  Kamakau  through  the  instigation, 
if  not  the  expense  of  the  Rev.  J.  S.  Emerson  while  Professor  at  the 
Seminary  of  Lahainaluna.  Its  value  as  a  vocabulary  is  diminished,  not 
for  want  of  information,  but  for  want  of  skill  in  making  definitions. 
Instead  of  giving  a  definition  in  other  words,  he  merely  added  the 
synonyms  of  the  word  in  question.  The  work,  however,  was  of  value  to 
the  author,  for  these  synonyms  increased  the  number  of  words  which 
finally  found  their  way  into  the  Dictionary.  For  all  these  helps,  the 
author  desires  to  make  due  acknowledgment. 

Still  there  has  been  ample  room  for  the  exercise  of  the  author's  own 
judgment.  The  different  departments  in  which  he  has  been  called  to 
act,  as  that  of  a  missionary,  a  teacher  in  the  Seminary  at  Lahainaluna, 
a  magistrate  in  the  different  courts  of  the  Kingdom  and  Secretary  of  the 
Privy  Council,  in  all  of  which  the  Hawaiian  language  was  used,  have 
brought  before  him  a  great  variety  of  forms  of  speech,  and  perhaps 
also,  a  greater  variety  of  the  senses  in  which  many  words  are  used 
than  could  have  been  obtained  had  he  been  confined  to  any  one  depart- 
ment. But  after  all,  as  he  reviews  his  Dictionary,  he  feels  that  he  has 
nothing  to  boast  of.  The  deficiencies  are  still  great.  Much  will  remain 
for  the  author's  successors  to  do  before  the  genius,  extent,  and  peculiar- 
ities of  the  Hawaiian  language  will  be  fully  developed. 

There  are  several  fields  of  thought  which  are  but  feebly  represented 
in  this  Dictionary,  as:  imaginative  words  used  in  the  kaaos  or  legends; 
those  which  may  be  termed  their  philosophical  views,  that  is,  their  mode 
of  accounting  for  natural  phenomena,  as  the  creation  of  their  islands; 
the  origin  of  their  religious  rites;  and  especially  the  power  of  imagina- 
tion displayed  in  their  meles  and  the  consequent  richness  of  their  lan- 
guage  for   expressing  the   nicest   shades   of   love,   hatred,   jealousy   and 

ix 


INTRODUCTION 

revenge,  and  the  language  used  by  the  priests  when  calling  on  their 
gods  for  assistance.  The  legend  of  Laieikawai  is  almost  the  only  speci- 
men of  Hawaiian  romantic  language  which  has  been  laid  before  the 
public.  Many  fine  specimens  have  been  printed  in  the  Hawaiian  period- 
icals, but  are  neither  seen  nor  regarded  by  the  foreign  community. 
Volumes  of  the  same  quality  as  Laieikawai  might  be  collected  and 
printed.  Their  moral  influence  would  be  no  worse  on  Hawaiian  minds 
than  the  famous  Scott's  novels  are  on  English  readers.  The  study  of 
these  romances  would  demonstrate  that  the  Hawaiians  possessed  a  lan- 
guage not  only  adapted  to  their  former  necessities,  but  capable  of  being 
used  in  introducing  the  arts  of  civilized  society,  and  especially  of  pure 
morals,  of  law,  and  the  religion  of  the  Bible. 

The  number  of  words  in  this  Dictionary  is  about  15,500.  The  author 
would  here  state  that  four-fifths  of  the  work  was  completed  before  he 
had  any  intimation  that  it  would  ever  be  printed.  It  was  written  solely 
for  his  own  amusement  and  information,  and  preparatory  to  a  fuller 
investigation  of  the  language.  He  has  been  desirous  for  many  years 
of  going  more  fully  into  the  study  of  Hawaiian  poetry,  and  as  a  prepar- 
ation to  it  he  was  induced  to  collect  specimens  of  the  language  of  com- 
mon life;  hence  the  origin  of  this  dictionary.  An  appropriation  of 
money  for  a  dictionary  which  passed  the  Legislature  of  1860  without 
his  knowledge,  was  the  first  intimation  the  author  had  that  such  a 
work  was  desired  by  the  foreign  community  of  the  islands. 

Much  praise  is  due  to  the  Advertiser  for  the  correctness  of  the 
printing.  Seldom  is  a  book  of  this  size  printed  with  so  few  typographical 
errors.  The  public  will  also  feel  indebted  to  Professor  Alexander  for 
assiduous  attention  not  only  in  one  reading  of  each  proof  sheet,  but 
in  suggesting  improvements  in  the  language  of  definitions.  The  work 
is  now  submitted  to  a  candid  public.  The  author  hopes  and  prays  that 
as  God  has  spared  his  life  to  bring  it  to  a  close.  He  will  in  some  way 
make  it  useful  to  the  increase  of  intelligence  in  this  Hawaiian  Kingdom. 

INTRODUCTION    TO    THE    ORIGINAL    EDITION, 
BY  W.   D.   ALEXANDER 

The  Hawaiian  is  but  a  dialect  of  the  great  Polynesian  language, 
which  is  s.poken  with  extraordinary  uniformity  over  all  the  numerous 
islands  of  the  Pacific  Ocean  betw^een  New  Zealand  and  Hawaii.  Agam, 
the  Polynesian  language  is  but  one  member  of  that  wide-spread  family 
of  languages,  known  as  the  Malayo-Polynesian  or  Oceanic  family,  which 
extends  from  Madagascar  to  the  Hawaiian  islands,  and  from  New 
Zealand   to   Formosa. 

The  Hawaiian  dialect  is  peculiarly  interesting  to  the  philologist 
from  its  isolated  positon,  being  the  most  remote  of  the  family  from 
its  primeval  seat  in  Southeastern  Asia,  and  leading  as  it  were  the  van 
while  the  Malagasy  brings  up  the  rear.  We  will  first  give  a  brief 
account  of  what  has  been  done  for  these  languages,  chiefly  by  Euro- 
pean  scholars. 

The  similarity  of  the  Polynesian  dialects  is  s.o  striking  that  it  did 
not  escape  the  notice  of  the  first  discoverers  in  this  ocean.  Dr.  Rein- 
hold  Forster,  the  celebrated  naturalist  of  Captain  Cook's  second  voyage, 


INTRODUCTION 

drew  up  a  table  containing  forty-seven  words  taken  from  eleven  Oceanic 
dialects,  and  the  corresponding  terms  in  Malay,  Mexican,  Peruvian,  and 
Chilian.  From  this,  table  he  inferred  that  the  Polynesian  languages 
afford  many  analogies  with  the  Malay,  while  they  present  no  point  of 
contact  with  the  Amerindian  languages.  After  him  Mr.  Anderson,  in  a 
comparative  table,  which  was  published  at  the  end  of  Cook's  third 
voyage,  drew  attention  to  the  striking  resemblance  of  the  Polynesian 
numerals   to  those   of  the   Malay  archipelago   and   Madagascar. 

According  to  Max  Muller,  it  was  Abbe  Lorenzo  Hervas  who  first 
made  what  he  calls  "one  of  the  mos.t  brilliant  discoveries  in  the  history 
of  the  science  of  language,  the  establishment  of  the  Malay  and  Poly- 
nesian family  of  speech,  extending  from  the  island  of  Madagascar  over 
208  degrees  of  longitude  to  Easter  Island,"  etc.  From  what  has  been 
said,  however,  it  is  evident  that  the  credit  of  this  discovery  is  really 
due  to  Forster  and  Anderson.  Hervas  was  a  Spanish  Jesuit,  who  spent 
several  years  as  a  missionary  in  South  America,  where  his  attention 
was  drawn  to  the  comparative  study  of  languages.  After  his  return 
to  Europe,  he  lived  chiefly  at  Rome,  where  his  correspondence  with 
Jesuit  missionaries  in  all  parts  of  the  world  gave  him  great  assistance 
in  his  philological  researches.  In  his  "Catalogue  of  Languages,"  pub- 
lished in  the  year  1800,  he  clearly  stated  this  relationship,  which  it  was 
reserved  for  a  Humboldt  to  demonstrate. 

A  few  years  later  William  Maraden,  who  was  the  first  to  investigate 
with  accuracy  the  history  of  the  East  Indian  archipelago,  arrived  in- 
dependently at  the  same  conclusion.  He  considered  all  the  insular 
nations  as  colonies  from  the  Malays,  whose  original  home  was  the 
island  of  Sumatra,  and  their  common  speech  he  termed  the  Great 
Polynesian. 

John  Crawford,  in  his  great  work  on  the  East  Indian  archipelago, 
publisJied  in  1820,  in  which  he  gave  a  valuable  comparative  vocabulary, 
advanced  a  very  different  theory,  which  has  occasioned  a  great  deal  of 
discussion,  and  is  not  without  its  advocates  even  at  the  present  day. 
He  supposed  that  the  basis  of  each  barbarous  language  was  originally 
distinct,  each  tribe  being  a  distinct  race,  and  properly  indigenous.  The 
common  words,  in  each  dialect  he  supposed  to  have  been  derived  from 
a  foreign  langauge,  which  he  calls  the  Great  Polynesian,  and  which 
was  spread,  as  he  imagined,  by  a  more  civilized  people,  through  con- 
quest and  commercial  intercourse,  over  the  whole  archipelago.  On  this 
subject  we  briefly  remark  that  his  theory  affords  no  explanation  of 
the  dispersion  of  the  Polynesian  race  over  the  islands  of  the  Pacific 
Ocean.  Besides  we  have  good  reasx)n  to  believe  that  whatever  superior- 
ity in  civilization  is  enjoyed  by  the  East  Indian  islanders,  was  derived 
by  them  from  continental  India,  long  after  the  dispersion  of  the  insular 
races  from  their  common  center,  and  not  from  his  imaginary  Great 
Polynesian.  Again,  the  words  which  are  common  to  all  these  languages 
are  such  as  are  least  likely  to  have  been  borrowed  by  one  race  from  an- 
other, as  the  pronouns,  the  numerals,  the  names  of  family  relations,  of 
parts  of  the  body,  of  the  great  objects  of  nature,  and  all  the  simplest  ideas 
of  everyday  life.  The  Saxons,  for  example,  learned  to  use  many  Nor- 
man-French words,   but   most  of  their  household   words   remained    Sax-

on.  So  did  their  numerals,  so  did  their  pronouns,  and  so  in  the  high- 
est degree  did  their  grammar. 

Dumont  d'Urville's  report  on  the  Philology  of  the  French  Exploring 
Expedition,  during  the  years  1825-1829,  published  in  1833,  reflects  great 
credit  on  its  author.  Besides  other  valuable  materials,  it  contains  a 
comparative  vocabulary  of  seven  Oceanic  languages,  comprising  over 
800  words  in  the  Madagascar,  New  Zealand,  Tongan,  Tahitian,  Hawaiian 
and  Malay  languages. 

In  the  able  essay  which  accompanied  it,  he  drew  attention  to  the 
fact  that  a  class  of  words  common  to  the  Malagasy  and  the  Polynesian 
are  wanting  in  the  Malay;  which  confirmed,  as  he  justly  thought, 
Forster's  opinion  that  "all  these  languages  were  derived  from  one  very 
ancient  tongue,  now  lost,"  which  held  towards  them  all  the  relation  of 
a  common  parent,  the  Polynesian  having  remained  nearest  to  the  origi- 
nal type,  while  the  Malay  has  been  greatly  modified  by  the  influence 
of  the  Sanscrit,  and  the  Malagasy  by  the  African  and  Arabic  languages. 
M.  d'Urville  then  goes  on  to  advance  an  ingenious  hypothesis,  which, 
however,  will  not  s.tand  the  test  of  examination,  that  a  continent  like 
Australia,  or  at  leas.t  an  archipelago,  once  occupied  part  of  Polynesia, 
inhabited  by  a  people  of  whom  the  Polynesian  tribes  are  but  the  rem- 
nant that  have  survived  some  great  convulsion  of  the  globe.  In  that 
case  the  Malays  would  have  been  but  colonists  from  the  supposed 
Polynesian  continent,  who  had  followed  the  general  course  of  the  trade 
winds. 

The  earliest  really  scientific  analysis  of  the  structure  of  a  Poly- 
nesian language,  with  which  we  are  acquainted,  is  the  work  on  the 
Hawaiian  language  published  at  Berlin  in  1837,  by  Adelbert  von  Cha- 
misso,  the  poet,  who  had  been  the  naturalist  of  the  Russian  Exploring 
Expedition,  under  Kotzebue,  in  the  years  1815  to  1818.  It  is  a  work 
of  rare  ability,  considering  the  meager  materials  which  the  author  had 
at  his  command.  In  the  year  1838  appeared  a  work  by  Baron  William 
von  Humboldt,  the  distinguished  statesman  and  scholar,  which  marked 
a  new  era  in  the  history  of  the  science  of  language,  and  which  first 
fixed  on  an  impregnable  basis  the  relationship  of  the  Malayo-Polynesian 
languages.  This  great  work  "On  the  Kawi  Language  in  the  Island  of 
Java,"  which  was  edited  after  the  author's  death  by  his  friend  and 
assistant,  M.  Buschmann,  has  ever  since  been  regarded  as  a  model  and 
masterpiece  of  philological  research.  In  the  words  of  Professor  De  Vere, 
"the  Kawi  served  him  as  a  canvas  on  which  to  weave  those  truths 
and  that  wisdom,  which  have  placed  his  name  in  universal  comparative 
philology  by  the   side  of  that  of   Leibnitz." 

In  this  work,  which  occupies  three  quarto  volumes,  he  first  lays 
down  the  fundamental  principles  which  govern  the  development  of 
language,  and  show  the  influence  of  the  structure  of  language  on  the 
intellectual  development  of  races.  He  then  institutes  a  most  minute 
and  searching  examination  of  the  nine  principal  languages  of  the  Malay 
stock:  the  Malagasy,  Malay,  Javanese,  Bughis,  Tagala,  New  Zealand, 
Tongan,  Tahitian  and  Hawaiian,  analyzing  the  structure  of  their  roots, 
and  investigating  the  laws  of  derivation  and  euphony,  in  accordance 
with  which  the  common  stock  of  words  is  modified  in  each  dialect.  He 
next  proceeds   to  make  a  most  careful  and   elaborate   analysis   of   the 


INTRODUCTION 

grammatical  structure,  the  particles  and  formatives  of  each  language, 
after  which  he  makes  a  comparison  of  the  numerals,  and  pf  131  prim- 
itive words  in  all  the  nine  languages  mentioned  above.  The  result  of 
this  extensive  and  laborious  analysis  is  to  prove  that  there  is  not  only 
a  fundamental  and  close  affinity  between  these  languages  in  respect 
to  their  vocabulary,  but  that  their  construction  is  so  similar  that  they 
may  be  considered  as  belonging  to  one  and  the  same  grammatical 
system,  and  pervaded  by  the  same  modes  of  thought.  Humboldt  also 
showed  that  the  Tagala,  the  leading  language  of  the  Philippine  Islands, 
is  by  far  the  richest  and  most  perfect  of  these  languages,  and  that  it 
may  even  be  considered  as  the  type  of  the  family.  "It  possesses,"  he 
said,  "all  the  forms  collectively  of  which  particular  ones  are  found 
singly  in  other  dialects;  and  it  has  preserved  them  all  with  very 
trifling  exceptions  unbroken,  and  in  entire  harmony  and  symmetry. 
*  *  *  It  was  necessary,  in  order  to  display  the  highest  perfection  of 
which  the  organism  of  this  stock  of  languages  is  capable,  to  exhibit  the 
system  of  verbs  in  the  Tagala." 

The.  languages  of  the  Oceanic  region  have  been  divided  into  six 
great  groups:  1,  the  Polynesian;  2,  the  Micronesian;  3,  the  Melanesian 
or  Papuan;  4,  the  Australian;  5,  the  Malaysian,  and  6,  the  Malagasy, 
as  the  language  of  Madagascar  is  called.  In  regard  to  these  different 
groups  our  limits  will  not  allow  us  to  go  into  any  details.  Suffice  it 
to  say  of  the  Australians  that  their  languages  appear  to  be  radically 
distinct  from  the  Malayo-Polynesian  family,  though  they  have  left  some 
traces  of  former  contact  on  the  dialects  of  the  small  islands  west  of 
New  Guinea.  The  Melanesian  or  Papuan  languages  present  but  very 
slight  points  of  resemblance  to  the  Malay  or  Polynesian,  and  differ 
greatly  among  themselves.  If,  as  is  generally  supposed,  the  black  race 
were  the  first  settlers  in  the  Pacific,  the  wave  of  immigration  which 
peopled  Polynesia  must  have  swept  around  them  to  the  north,  and  at 
a  later  period  the  Micronesians  may  have  moved  in  and  closed  up  the 
rear. 

Of  the  languages  of  Malaysia,  those  of  the  Moluccas  approach  the 
nearest  to  Polynesian.  Those  islands  then  may  be  considered  as  the 
probable  starting  point  of  the  ancient '  Polynesian  emigrants.  The 
languages  of  Micronesia  unmistakably  belong  to  the  great  Malay  family, 
and  in  their  grammatical  structure  resemble  the  East  Indian  languages 
more  than   the   Polynesian. 

The  remarkable  fact  that  the  language  of  Madagascar  belongs  to 
this  great  family  was  first  established  by  William  Humboldt  in  his 
great  work  on  the  Kawi  language.  The  Malagasy  has  no  resemblance 
to  the  South  African  languages.  In  its  grammatical  structure  it  ap- 
proaches nearest  to  the  Tagala,  but  it  contains  several  Polynesian  words 
which  are  wanting  in  the  intervening  Malay  languages.  The  first  ten 
numerals  in  Malagasy  are  "Rec  or  isa,  rua,  telu,  efat,  dimi,  enim,  fitu, 
valu,  sivi,  fulu."  In  Malay  they  are  "Satu,  dua,  tiga,  ampat,  lima,  anam, 
tujuh,  delapan  or  walu,  sambilan,  sa-puluh."  The  original  Polynesian 
forms  are  "Tasi,  lua,  tolu,  fa,  lima,  ono,  fitu,  valu,  siwa,  fulu."  Com- 
pare the  Malagasy  word  for  "heaven,"  langits,  with  the  Malay  langit, 
the  Polynesian  langi  or  lani;  the  Malagasy  word  nifi,  a  "tooth,"  with 
the    Polynesian    nifo    or    niho;     the    Malagasy    uvi,    a    "yam,"    with    the 

xiii 


INTRODUCTION 

Polynesian  ufi  or  uhi.  Indeed  s.ome  words,  such  as  mate,  "dead,"  etc., 
are  found  in  the  same  identical  forms  throughout  this  whole  circle  of 
languages.  Many  other  examples  might  be  given  if  they  were  needed 
to    illustrate   the    connection    of   these   languages. 

The  Polynesian  language  is,  as  has  been  before  remarked,  an  ex- 
tremely ancient  and  primitive  member  of  the  great  Malay  family. 

It  was  observed  by  Humboldt  that  the  introduction  .of  Sanscrit  words 
into  the  Javanese  and  Malay  mus.t  have  been  centuries  before  the 
Christian  era,  and  that  the  separation  between  the  different  branches 
of  the  Malay  family  must  have  taken  place  at  a  still  earlier  period. 
It  has  also  been  seen  that  the  internal  structure  of  the  Polynesian 
language  indicates  its  high  antiquity.  It  was  the  belief  of  William  Hum- 
boldt that  the  Polynesians  exhibit  the  original  state  of  civilization 
of  the  Malay  race,  when  they  first  settled  in  the  Indian  Archipelago, 
and  before  they  had  been  changed  by  foreign  influence.  The  unity  of 
the  Polynesian  dialects  is  still  an  astonishing  fact.  Tribes  like  the 
Hawaiians  and  New  Zealanders,  separated  from  each  other  by  one- 
fourth  of  the  circumference  of  the  globe  in  space,  and  thousands  of 
years  in  time,  speak  dialects  of  one  language,  and  have  the  same  cus- 
toms and  mythology.  The  laws  of  euphony  in  the  several  dialects 
which  regulate  the  changes  of  consonants  are  ao  fixed  and  uniform, 
that  a  New  Zealand  or  Samoan  word  being  given,  we  can  generally 
tell  with  certainty  what  its  form  will  be  in  each  of  the  other  dialects. 
The  conclusion  that  the  course  of  migration  in  the  Pacific  was  from 
west  to  east  might  be  deduced  from  an  examination  of  the  compara- 
tive grammar  and  vocabularies  of  the  different  dialects.  We  find  in 
those  of  the  western  groups  many  forms  which  are  entirely  wanting 
in  the  eastern  dialects,  while  others,  which  are  complete  in  the  former 
are  found  in  the  latter  defective  or  perverted  from  what  was  evidently 
their   original   meaning. 

The  New  Zealand  dialect,  on  the  whole,  is  the  most  primitive  and 
entire  in  its  forms.  The  Hawaiians,  Marquesans  and  Tahitians  form  a 
closely  related  group  by  themselves.  For  example,  the  Marquesaii 
converts  are  using  Hawaiian  books,  and  the  people  of  the  Austral 
Islands   read   the   Tahitian   Bible. 

Although,  from  a  scientific  point  of  view,  the  Hawaiian  may  seem  to 
be  one  of  the  most  attenuated  and  degenerate  dialects  of  this  family, 
we  believe  it  to  be  practically  one  of  the  most  copious  and  expressive, 
as  well  as  the  richest  in  native  traditional  history   and  poetry. 

The  Samoan  and  Tongan  languages  have  probably  been  modified, 
by  a  later  importation  from  the  East  Indies.  They  contain  several 
Malay  words  which  are  wanting  in  the  eastern  dialects.  The  Tongan 
in  particular  has  several  Fiji  traits  not  found  elsewhere  in  Polynesia. 

The  Fiji  or  Viti  seems  to  form  the  transition  between  Polynesian 
and  Papuan,  where  the  two  streams  of  colonization  met  and  mingled. 
The  principles  of  its  grammar  and  one-fifth  of  its  words  are  Poly- 
nesian. Among  the  remaining  four-fifths  are  several  pure  Malay  words, 
such  as  vula,  the  moon,  lako,  to  go,  masima,  salt,  etc.,  while  many  of 
its  peculiar  words  are  also  found  in  the  Kingsmill  group,  and  some, 
for  instance,  dra,  blood,  kana,  to  eat,  tina,  mother,  can  even  be  traced 
into  Micronesia.     The  Kingsmill  group,  as   far  as.  its  language  is  con- 


INTRODUCTION 

cerned,  has  a  closer  connection  with  Polynesia  than  Micronesia,  though 
considerably  modified  by  mixture  with  the  latter  as  well  as  with  the 
black  race.  Together  with  the  Fiji  and  Rotuman  it  retains  some  char- 
acteristics of  eastern  Malaysia,  particularly  of  Aru-Sambawa,  and  even 
some  traces  of  Au&tralian.  The  native  traditions  show  that  they  are 
a  mixed  race  sprung  from  Samoan  and  Micronesian  colonists. 

At  the  southeast  extremity  of  Polynesia  the  Paumotu  or  Dangerous 
Archipelago,  presents  a  curious  problem  for  the  philologist.  While  the 
grammar  and  most  of  the  vocabulary  is  Tahitian,  the  numerals  and  a 
large  number  of  the  most  common  words,  are  utterly  unlike  every  other 
Oceanic  language  with  which  we  are  acquainted,  although  Logan  finds 
many  of  them  "recognizable  as  Indonesian  or  Indian  words."  Their 
canoes  and  some  of  their  manufactures  are  of  the  Micronesian  pattern, 
though  there  is  nothing  in  their  language  that  points  in  that  direction. 

A  few  words  should  be  added  on  the  peculiar  genius  and  structure 
of  the  Polynesian  language  in  general,  and  of  the  Hawaiian  dialect  in 
particular. 

It  is  a  law  of  all  Polynesian  languagea  that  every  word  and  syllable 
must  end  in  a  vowel,  so  that  no  two  consonants  are  ever  heard  without 
a  vowel  sound  between  them.  Most  of  the  radical  words  are  disyllables, 
and  the  accent  is  generally  on  the  penult.  The  Polynesian  ear  is  as 
nice  in  marking  the  slightest  variations  of  vowel  sound  as  it  is  dull  in 
distinguishing  consonants.  No  Polynesian  dialect,  for  instance,  makes 
any  distinction  between  b  and  p,  d  and  t,  g  and  k,  I  and  r,  or  v  and  w. 
Besides  I  is  often  sounded  like  d,  and  t  like  k,  which  latter  was  un- 
fortunately adopted  in  the  written  language  of  the  Hawaiian  islands 
to  repres.ent  the  same  element  which  is  represented  by  t  throughout 
the  rest  of  Polynesia. 

As  was  said  before,  the  laws  which  regulate  the  changes  of  conso- 
nants in  the  different  dialects  are  remarkably  uniform.  In  Hawaiian 
both  f  and  s  are  changed  into  h,  ng  is  softened  into  n,  k  at  the  be- 
ginning of  a  word  is  dropped,  but  in  the  middle  of  a  word  is  repre- 
sented by  a  peculiar  guttural  catch  or  break,  and  w  is  used  for  v, 
though  the  sx)und  is  properly  intermediate  between  the  two. 

The  following  table  from  Hale  shows  the  number  of  consonants  in 
each  dialect,  and  the  changes  which  they  undergo  in  passing  from  one 
dialect  to  another.  The  guttural  break,  which  takes  the  place  of  k, 
is  represented  by  an  apostrophe.'

INTRODUCTION 


The  vowels  undergo  but  few  changes,  and  these  chiefly  in  conse- 
quence of  consonant  changes.  Fetu,  a  star,  and  fenua,  land,  in  Hawaiian 
become  hoku,  and  honua,  and  the  omission  of  k  produces  similar  changes, 
so  that  meika,  a  banana,  becomes  mai'a,  and  meitaki,  good,  becomes 
maika'l.  It  will  be  observed  that  in  consonant  sounds  the  Hawaiian  is. 
one  of  the  softest  and  most  attenuated  of  the  dialects,  being  surpassed 
in  that  respect  only  by  the  effeminate  Marquesan.  The  following  ex- 
amples s.how  the  changes  which  words  undergo  in  passing  from  one 
dialect    to   another.

The  vocabulary  of  the  Hawaiian  is  probably  richer  than  that  of 
most  other  Oceanic  tongues.  Its  childlike  and  primitive  character  is 
shown  by  the  absence  of  abstract  words  and  general  terms.  As  has 
been  well  observed  by  M.  Gaussin,  there  are  three  classes,  of  words, 
corresponding  to  as  many  different  stages  of  language:  1,  those  that 
express  sensations;  2,  images,  and  3,  abstract  ideas.  The  Polynesian 
vocabulary  was  originally  composed  chiefly  of  words  of  the  first  two 
classes.  As  languages  grow  older,  words  acquire  a  figurative  s.ense, 
and  the  original  meaning  is  gradually  forgotten.  In  English,  for  instance, 
how  many  are  aware  that  tribulation  originally  meant  threshing,  re- 
spect, looking  back,  reveal  to  draw  back  a  veil,  affront  to  strike  in  the 
face,  and  insult  to  leap  upon  the  body  of  a  prostrate  foe?  There  were 
comparatively  few  Hawaiian  words  that  had  gone  through  this  process. 

Not  only  are  names  wanting  for  the  more  general  abs.tractions,  such 
as  space,  nature  and  fate,  but  there  are  very  few  generic  terms.  For 
example  there  is  no  generic  term  for  animal,  expressing  the  whole  class 
of  living  creatures,  or  for  insects  or  for  colors.  At  the  same  time  it 
abounds  in  specific  names  and  in  nice  distinctions. 

The  first  step  in  the  formation  of  language  was  no  doubt  the  em- 
ployment of  particular  names  to  denote  individual  objects.  It  was 
only  afterwards  by  a  process  of  abstraction  that  these  individual  ob- 
jects were  classified  by  those  qualities  which  are  common  to  a  number 
of  them.  It  is  from  the  specific  that  we  ascend  to  the  general.  The 
same  principle  applies  to  verbs  or  names  of  actions  as  well  as  to 
nouns.  The  savage  has  in  his  mind  a  picture  of  the  whole  action,  and 
does  not  always  abstract  or  separate  the  principal  circumstance  from 
the  accessory  details.  This  is  true  of  uncultivated  languages  in  general, 
and  is  not  peculiar  to  Hawaiian,  Thus  the  Javanese  has  ten  words  to 
express  as  many  different  modes  of  standing,  and  twenty  of  sitting. 
The  Fijian  has.  sixteen  words  meaning  to  strike,  and  eight  to  wash, 
"according  as  it  affects  the  head,  face,  hands,  feet  or  body  of  an  indi- 
vidual, or  his  clothes,  dishes  or  floor."  So  in  Hawaiian  everything  that 
relates  to  their  every-day  life  or  to  the  natural  objects  with  which  they

INTRODUCTION 


were  conversant  is  expressed  with  a  vivacity,  a  minuteness  and  nicety 
of  coloring  which  cannot  be  reproduced  in  a  foreign  tongue.  Thus  the 
Hawaiian  was  very  rich  in  terms  for  every  variety  of  clouds„  It  has 
names  for  every  species  of  plant  on  the  mountains  or  fish  in  the  sea, 
and  is  peculiarly  copious  in  terms  relating  to  the  ocean,  the  surf  and 
waves.  The  ancient  Hawaiians  were  evidently  close  observers  of 
nature.  For  whatever  belonged  to  their  religion,  their  wars,  their 
domestic  life,  their  handicrafts  or  their  amusements,  their  vocabulary 
was  most  copious  and  minute.  Almost  every  stick  in  a  native  house 
had  its  appropriate  name.  Hence  it  abounds  in  synonyms,  which,  how- 
ever, are  such  only  in  appearance,  and  on  which  a  volume  might  be 
written.  To  be  broken  as  a  string  is  moku,  to  be  broken  as  a  dish 
naha,  as  a  stick  haki,  to  fall  from  an  upright  to  a  horizontal  position 
as  a  wall  is  hina,  to  fall  from  a  height  through  the  air  haule;  auamo 
means  to  carry  on  the  shoulder  with  a  stick,  kaikai  in  the  hands,  hii 
as  a  child  in  the  arms,  koi  on  a  stick  between  two  men,  haawe  on  the 
back,  and  hali  to  carry  in  general. 

Besides  the  language  of  everyday  life,  there  was  a  style  appropri- 
ate to  oratory,  and  another  to  religion  and  poetry.  This  latter  is 
known  to  but  few  natives  of  the  pres.ent  generation,  and  is  fast  dis- 
appearing.    The  same  thing  is  taking  place  in  New  Zealand  and  Tahiti. 

The  above-mentioned  characteristics  make  it  a  pictorial  and  ex- 
pressive language.  It  still  has  the  freshness  of  childhood.  Its  words 
are  pictures  rather  than  colorless  and  abstract  symbols  of  ideas,  and 
are  redolent  of  the  mountain,  the  forest  and  the  surf.  It  was  com- 
pletely adapted  to  the  country  and  the  circle  of  ideas,  in  which  the 
people  lived,  and  bore  no  trace  of  a  higher  civilization  or  of  foreign 
influence.  Far  be  it  from  us,  however,  to  deny  its  capability  for  higher 
development.  Its  characteristics  are  such  as  belong  to  all  languages 
in  a  certain  stage  of  growth.  It  has  been  and  ia  successfully  used  to 
express  the  abstractions  of  mathematics,  of  English  law,  and  of  theology.

^Laieikawai  to  which  reference  is  made  in  this  Dictionary  is  S.  N. 
Haleole's  Ke  Kaao  o  Laieikawai  which  was  printed  in  Honolulu,  in  1863. 
It  has  long  been  out  of  print  but  copies  may  be  found  in  Honolulu  in 
the  libraries  of  Mr.  G.  R.  Carter,  Bishop  Museum,  and  that  of  the 
Hawaiian  Historical  Society  which  is  located  in  the  Library  of  Hawaii. 

A  translation  of  Haleole's  work  was  made  by  Martha  Warren  Beck- 
with  and  published  in  the  Thirty-third  Annual  Report  of  the  Bureau  of 
American  Ethnology.  It  was  reprinted  separately  by  the  Government 
Printing  Office,  Washington,  D.  C,  in  1918.

DIACRITICAL  MARKS 

The  macron  (")  is  used  to  mark  long  or  normal  vowels,  as:  a,  e,  i,  o,  u. 

The  breve  (')  is  used  to  indicate  the  short  sounds  of  Hawaiian  vowels, 
as:  a,  e,  i,  6,  CI. 

The  glottal  closure  (')  indicates  an  interruption  of  a  sound  that  prevents 
two  vowels  from  coalescing  (see  p.  xv).  According  to  current  usage 
the  first  person  singular  pronoun  and  its  possessive  (a'u,  o'u,  ka'u, 
ko'u,  na'u,  no'u,  ia'u,  and  io'u)  always  retain  the  glottal  closure  in 
writing  and  printing.    (See  Alexander's  Hawaiian  Grammar,  p.  15, 1920.) 

THE    HAWAIIAN   ALPHABET 

There  are  twelve  letters  in  the  Hawaiian  alphabet:  a,  e,  h,  i,  k,  1,  m, 
n,  o,  p,  u,  and  w. 

The  consonants,  h,  k,  1,  m,  n,  and  p,  are  pronounced  as  in  English. 
W  has  two  sounds: 

1.  Of  the  English  w  in  way,  as:  Waikiki  (geographic  name)  and 
wela  (heat).  This  sound  is  retained  even  when  the  word  is 
compounded,  as:  Kaalawai  (geographic  name  meaning  the 
waterway). 

2.  In  the  middle  of  a   word  or  after  the  first  syllable   it  almost 

always  has  the  sound  of  the  English  v  as  in  valor,  as:  Ewa 
(geographic  name)  and  hewa  (wrong).  Compounded  words 
mentioned  In  (1)  are  of  course  exceptions  to  this  rule. 

The  vowels  are: 
a  (a)=a  in  father mamo  (ma'-mo).    A  Hawaiian  bird. 

hale  (ha'-le).     House, 
a  (a)=a  in  liable maka  (ma'-ka).    Eye. 

ama  (a'-ma).     Talkative, 
e  (e)^a  in  mate meha  (me'-ha).     Loneliness. 

olelo  (o-le'-lo).     Language, 
e  (e)=e  in  net • Ewa  (e'-va).     Geographic  name. 

eli   (e'-li).     To  dig. 
i    (i)=i  in  police lio  (li'-o).    Horse. 

milo  (mi'-lo).     A  tree. 
1    (i)=i  in  hill mimilo    (mi-mi'-lo).     A  whirlpool. 

eli  (e'-li).    To  dig. 
o  (6)=o  in  old loa  (lo'-a).    Long. 

aloha  (a-lo'-ha).     Love. 
0  (6)==o  in  old  but  not  so  prolonged,  .loko  (16'-ko).    Lake. 

moha  (m6-ha').     Bright,  shining. 
a  (li)^o  in  moon hula  (hu'-la).    To  dance. 

luna  (lu'-na).     Overseer. 
u  (ii)^Approximates   the   sound 

of  u  in  full mukumuku  (mCi'-kii-mii'-ku) .     To  cut 

into  pieces. 

pukiki.(pu-ki'-ki').     A  strong  wind.

GUIDE  TO  PRONUNCIATION 


There  are  no  true  diphthongs  in  Hawaiian  but  for  the  European  ae, 
ai,  ao,  au,  ei,  ia,  and  ua,  may  be  so  classed.  Where  the  stress  falls  upon 
the  first  letter  of  the  diphthong,  it  is  so  marked,  as:  aihaha  (a'i-ha'-ha'). 
Where  the  diphthong  itself  is  stressed,  the  accent  is  after  the  second  let- 
ter, as:  ahuwaiwai  (a-hu-wai'-wai). 

MISCELLANEOUS  RULES  FOR  PRONUNCIATION 

The  causative  hoo,  to  cause  to  be  done,  does  not  change  the  accent 
of  a  verb. 

The  sign  of  the  passive  voice  is  "ia" — pronounced  i'a. 

Reduplicated  words  follow  the  accent  of  their  primitives,  as:  kuhi- 
kuhi  (ku'-hi-ku'-hi)  from  ku'-hi;  and  helohelo  (he'-16-he'-16)  from  he'-16. 

Every  Hawaiian  word  ends  with  a  vowel,  and  in  general  such  vowel 
has  a  short  sound  and  requires  no  mark  to  indicate  its  phonetic  char- 
acter.    Exceptions  to  this  general  rule  are  noted  with  the  proper  marks. 

Every  Hawaiian  syllable  ends  in  a  vowel,  as:  Kamehameha  (Ka-me'- 
ha-me'-ha). 


A  DICTIONARY 

OF  THE 

HAWAIIAN  LANGUAGE 


A  (a).  The  first  letter  of  the  Ha- 
waiian alphabet. 

A  (a),  adj.  Fiery;  burning:  he  lua 
a,   a    fiery    pit. 

A  (a),  adv.  When;  then;  there; 
until.  With  verbs  in  a  narrative 
tense,  it  signifies  when,  and  when, 
etc.:  as,  a  hiki  mai  ia,  when  he 
arrived.  .  With  nei  it  signifies  a 
designation  of  place:  as,  mai  a  nei 
aku,  from  here  (this  place)  on- 
ward. Until:  as,  noho  oia  malaila 
a  make;  he  lived  there  until  he 
died.  (A  nei  is  often  written  as 
one  word,  and  then  it  signifies 
here,   or  the   present  place.) 

A  when  pronounced  with  a  pro- 
tracted sound,  signifies  a  pro- 
tracted period  of  time,  or  dis- 
tance, or  a  long  continued  action: 
as,  holo  ae  la  ia  a — a  hiki  i  ka 
aina  kahiki;  he  sailed  a  long  time, 
or  a  long  distance,  until  he  reached 
a  foreign  country. 

A  (a),  conj.  And;  then;  and  when. 
When  it  connects  verbs,  it  usually 
stands  by  itself;  as,  holo  ka  waa, 
a  komo  iho,  the  canoe  sailed  and 
sank.  When  it  connects  nouns,  it 
is  usually  joined  with  me;  as, 
haawi  mai  oia  i  ka  ai  a  me  ke 
kapa,  he  furnished  food  and  cloth- 
ing. A  with  me  signifies  and,  and 
also,  besides,  together  with,  etc. 
When  emphatic,  it  is  merely  a  dis- 
junctive. In  narration,  it  frequent- 
ly stands  at  the  beginning  of  sen- 
tences or  paragraphs,  and  merely 
refers  to  what  has  been  said,  with- 
out any  very  close  connection  with 
it.  In  many  cases  it  is  apparently 
euphonic  or  seems  to  answer  no 
purpose,  except  as  a  preparatory 
sound  to  something  that  may  fol- 
low; as,  akahi  no  oukou  a  hele 
i  keia  ala,  before  you  have  passed 
this  road. 

A  (a),  interj.  Lo;  behold.  An  ex- 
pression   of    surprise,    disappoint- 


ment, astonishment  or  admiration. 
It  is  similar  in  meaning  to  aia  hoi, 
eia  hoi,  aia  ka. 

A  (a),  n.  1.  The  jawbone;  the  cheek 
bone:  a  luna,  upper  jaw;  a  lalo,

abortion.  It  was  called  the  a  oo, 
the  piercing  a;  also  koholua. 
3.  An  instrument  used  for  bleed- 
ing. 4.  White  spots  that  appear 
in  poi  when  it  is  pounded.  5.  A 
large  sea  bird  often  caught  by 
natives;  also  called  aaianuheakane 
(feathers  white).  Worshiped  as 
an  aumakua  or  guardian.  6.  A 
small  fish  that  bites  at  a  hook; 
called  also  aakimakau.  7.  The  Ha- 
waiian alphabet;  also  the  first 
sheet  on  which  it  was  printed. 
8.  Broken  lava  (probably  so  called 
from  being  burnt.  See  A,  v.): 
Ke  a  o  Kaniku  a  me  Napuuapele. 

A  (a),  prep.  Of;  to;  in  connection 
with  motion,  e  hoi  oe  a  ka  hale, 
return  to  the  house,  (hiki  i  is 
understood). — Laieik.  p.  12.  Unto; 
at;  belonging.  It  designates  the 
properties  of  relation,  possession 
and  place;  and  is  often  synony- 
mous with  o,  but  generally  dis- 
tinct, giving  another  shade  of 
meaning  and  implying  a  closer 
connection.

mai  ke  ahi,  the  fire  burns;  ua  a 
mai  ke  ahi  ma  ka  waha;  the  fire

a  fire;  he  ahi  aa  loa;  also  used 
figuratively. 

Aa  (a-a'),  adj.  Stony;  abounding

broken  lava.     See  a,  broken  lava.

tously; without  cause;  naturally: 
Ua  aloha  honua  anei  na  kanaka 
kekahi  i  kekahi?  do  men  natural-

Honuhonu  (ho'-nu-ho'-nu),  v.  To  play

Hoo  (ho'o).  Causative  prefix  to  verbs; 
as,  malu,  to  shade,  hoomalu,  to 
cause  a  shade,  to  over-shadow; 
pono,  good,  right,  hoopono,  to  cor- 
rect, to  make  right;  akea,  to  be 
broad,  hooakea  or  hoakea,  to  cause 
to  be  broad,  that  is,  to  extend,  en- 
large, etc. 

This  prefix,  though  originally 
adapted  to  the  verb,  retains  its 
causative  meaning  when  the  word 
becomes  a  noun,  adjective  or  ad- 
verb. Ua  hele  oia  i  ka  hoike,  he 
has  gone  to  the  exhibition;  he 
kanaka  hoopunipuni,  a  man  caus- 
ing deception,  that  is,  a  deceitful 
man;  olelo  hooino  iho  la,  he  spoke 
causing  reproach,  that  is,  he 
spoke  reproachfully. 

Before  words  whose  first  letter 
is  a  vowel,  the  last  o  of  the  hoo 
frequently  coalesces  with  the  vow- 
el of  the  word  following,  for  the 
sake   of   euphony,   particularly   be- 


fore a,  e  and  o;  as,  hoano  for 
hooano;  hoole  for  hooole,  etc.  Some 
words  have  haa  (but  very  seldom) 
for  their  causative  prefix  instead 
of  hoo;  as,  haaheo  for  hooheo 
(from  heo,  pride),  to  be  haughty. 
This  form  seems  to  come  from 
the  Tahitiian  dialect.  A  few 
words  take  both  forms  for  their 
causative,  as  hoonui  and  haanui, 
from  nui,  to  be  large.  Hoawi,  to 
give,  is  used  for  hooawi,  but  haawi 
is   used   oftener  than  either. 

Strictly  speaking,  hoo  in  a  dic- 
tionary should  not  begin  a  verb, 
but  verbs  having  this  prefix 
should  be  set  in  their  places,  and 
their  meanings  be  modified  by 
hoo  as  it  occurs;  as,  ike,  to  know, 
etc  hooike  or  hoike,  to  cause  to 
know,  to  show,  to  exhibit;  ikeia, 
to  be  known,  hooikeia,  to  be  made 
known,  to  be  shown;  ikeike,  to 
know  clearly;  hooikeike,  to  make 
known  clearly  or  frequently,  etc. 
But  a  large  class  of  words  begin 
with  the  causative  prefix  hoo, 
whose  roots  are  not  known  or  are 
out  of  use.  Though  such  a  root 
might  be  assumed  as  being  in  ex- 
istence or  having  once  existed,  as 
Greek  lexicographers  often  as- 
sume an  obsolete  theme,  there 
would  be  much  danger  in  Hawaii- 
an of  getting  the  wrong  word: 
hence  it  has  seemed  advisable  to 
retain  hoo  as  the  beginning  of 
the  word.  This  occasions  some 
repetition,  but  it  is  hoped  it  will 
not    be    a    serious    inconvenience. 

This    prefix     always    takes    the 

glottal  sound.

HAWAIIAN    PLACE    NAMES' 

By    THOMAS  G.   THRUM 

Due  to  the  antiquity  of  some  of  the  names  and  the  lack  of  familiarity 
with  the  character  and  traditions  of  certain  localities  not  a  few  defini-

division  and  accent  imply  differences  in  meanings,  hence  effort  has  been 
made  to  record  the  current  pronunciation  as  the  basis  of  this  work.
